My name is Melissa, I’m a 32 year old Colombian native. I’ve been in the United States for four years. I’m still practicing and learning English. I’m always looking for opportunities to improve myself. I’m a mother to three boys. I love children, I have a lot of patience. In my prior nannying position I took care of a 6 month old boy and his 4 year old sister for two years. I loved the position and the family. Our children got along very well and we took trips together during school vacations. When nannying I take full responsibility for the care of the child, I cook all meals for the children, clean, assist with laundry, ensure homework and other tasks are completed and if necessary prepare the children for bed. I also taught Spanish to my previous clients children. For pet care I provided services for various animals on Rover with my husband. I’ve had many pets in the past and currently have a Samoyed. I have a long list of experience with housekeeping. I’m extremely efficient and thorough. I’ve worked for various businesses cleaning and always had wonderful reviews. I’ve worked in many restaurants. Cooking comes naturally to me. I enjoy cooking a homemade meal instead of ordering out. I’m very dependable and flexible on days and hours.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
